In this head to head comparison of IUX vs Markets4you, we will compare the trading platforms, mobile apps, range of investments, costs, market research, and more. Let's dive in.
CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Between 51% and 89% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.
In the world of online trading, understanding the regulatory standing of a broker is crucial. Founded in 2016, IUX holds a Tier-1 license, indicating a high level of trust according to ForexBrokers.com. In addition, it also holds a Tier-2 license. With a Trust Score of 78 out of 99, IUX is considered to have an average risk level for traders. Despite not being listed on any stock exchange or operating as a bank, this broker provides a measure of reassurance to its users through its licensing.
On the other hand, Markets4you, established in 2007, operates with neither Tier-1 nor Tier-2 licenses, which might unsettle some potential clients. Holding a Trust Score of 61, Markets4you is categorized as a high-risk platform by ForexBrokers.com. Like IUX, Markets4you is neither publicly traded nor acts as a bank. For potential investors, the regulatory distinction between these two brokers should be a key consideration in making informed trading decisions.

IUX edges Markets4you on commissions and fees, earning 4.0/5 stars and a #49 of 63 ranking from ForexBrokers.com, versus Markets4you’s 3.5/5 stars and #55 of 63. A key difference is transparency: IUX publishes average EUR/USD spreads, while Markets4you does not provide average spread data, making apples-to-apples comparisons harder for Markets4you.
IUX’s pricing varies by account. Standard and Standard+ need just $10 to get started; Standard offers lower spreads, while Standard+ allows deposit bonuses but with wider spreads. Active traders can choose the Pro or Raw accounts (both $500 minimums). Pro is spread-only with tighter pricing than Standard, while Raw pairs the tightest spreads with a $6 commission per 100,000 units (one standard lot). IUX lists average EUR/USD spreads of about 0.9 pips on Standard, 0.7 pips on Pro, and an effective 0.6 pips on Raw once the commission is factored in.
Overall, IUX delivers competitive pricing for a smaller broker and could appeal to cost-conscious traders who want clear numbers. Markets4you’s lack of published average spreads limits fee visibility, which likely contributes to its lower rating and ranking. If you want transparent costs and defined choices by deposit level, IUX is easier to evaluate; if you’re considering Markets4you, expect to do extra homework to confirm your all-in trading costs.

Dive deeper: Best Copy Trading Platforms.
IUX and Markets4you both check key boxes for everyday trading: each offers a free demo (paper) account, an in-house proprietary platform, a Windows desktop download, a web-based platform, and the ability to place trades directly from charts. Both support MetaTrader 5 (MT5). The big differences: Markets4you also supports MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and offers copy trading, while IUX does not. Details for DupliTrade, ZuluTrade, the number of technical indicators, drawing tools, and watch list columns are not specified for either broker.
For Trading Platforms and Tools, IUX is rated 3.5/5 stars and ranks #60 out of 63 brokers on ForexBrokers.com, while Markets4you earns 4/5 stars and ranks #53. If you want MT4 and copy trading, Markets4you is the clearer fit. If you only need MT5 with a straightforward desktop and web setup, IUX can cover the basics.

IUX and Markets4you both offer mobile trading apps for iPhone and Android, along with real-time watchlists and auto-saved chart drawings. The biggest differences show up in charting and alerts. IUX packs in far more built-in technical indicators (106 vs. 30), which may appeal to traders who like to test many signals. Markets4you, however, supports drawing trendlines on charts and includes price alerts—two practical tools IUX doesn’t offer. Neither broker syncs watchlists between the mobile app and the web platform.
In overall quality, Markets4you earns a higher mobile app rating (4.0 stars) and a stronger category ranking (#51 out of 63) than IUX (3.5 stars, #61 out of 63) according to ForexBrokers.com. Choose IUX if you want a large selection of technical studies on mobile; pick Markets4you if in-app price alerts and drawing tools matter more for your day-to-day trading.

Comparing market research, Markets4you clearly offers more than IUX. Markets4you provides daily market commentary, forex news from top-tier sources such as Bloomberg, Reuters, or Dow Jones, and third-party research tools from Autochartist and Trading Central—useful for both technical and fundamental analysis. Both brokers include an economic calendar to track global events, and neither offers a sentiment tool showing the ratio of long vs. short positions. Information about Markets4you using TipRanks or Acuity Trading wasn’t specified.
Independent ratings reflect this gap: IUX scores 3/5 stars for Research and ranks #60 of 63 brokers at ForexBrokers.com, while Markets4you earns 3.5/5 stars and ranks #48. In short, IUX delivers the basics, but Markets4you adds daily insights, premium news, and popular third-party tools that can better support research-driven trading.

Comparing education for beginners at IUX and Markets4you, the overall scores tilt toward Markets4you: it earns 3.5 out of 5 stars and ranks #26 of 63 brokers for Education on ForexBrokers.com, while IUX holds 3 stars and ranks #60. That suggests Markets4you delivers a stronger education experience overall for new traders. However, specific content types matter. Both brokers do not run monthly educational webinars, and it’s unclear whether either offers a searchable archive of past webinars. It’s also not confirmed whether either broker provides a full forex/CFD education hub with 10 or more pieces, or an investor dictionary with 50+ terms.
When it comes to beginner-friendly videos, IUX stands out by offering at least 10 introductory trading videos, while Markets4you does not meet that threshold. Neither broker provides 10 or more advanced videos for experienced traders. Bottom line: if you want a library of beginner video lessons, IUX has the edge; if you value higher overall education ratings and rankings, Markets4you is the safer pick for beginners exploring forex and CFD education.
